So this is what we woke up to this morning, and because we in Arkansas can’t drive on snow, school is out again. This makes two snow days for us – almost a record!
It is, of course, time for our annual Daffodil and Snow Tire Festival. Mine have big buds already and are ready to open soon. They always seem to survive somehow. I do love the idea that they are announcing that Spring will be here soon. I am ssssooooooooooooooo ready!
It really is a pretty snow today. And, it is actually snow – not ice. Instead of lamenting all that needs to be done both here at home and at school, I think I will just sit back and enjoy the beauty.
Since I have all of the ingredients on hand, I’m putting on a pot of seafood gumbo that I will be posting for this week’s Crock Pot Wednesday. Come back and join me. Remember, there’s a giveaway going on. Check out the details for that HERE.
Later this week I will be making this sour cream cornbread to go along with our veggie night. This is such a great little recipe, I hope you will give it a try.
Sour Cream Cornbread
1 cup corn meal mix
2 eggs
1 8 ounce can cream style corn
1 8 ounce carton sour cream
1 stick butter
1 cup shredded cheese (I use Cheddar.), optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter in an 8 x 10-inch pan (I use my 10-inch cast iron skillet). Mix together corn meal mix, eggs, corn, sour cream and cheese, if using. Pour in the melted butter, leaving enough in the pan to keep the cornbread from sticking. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until brown.
It’s time for Menu Plan Monday at I’m An Organizing Junkie. It’s always interesting to see what others are planning for the week. You can find my menu plan on the sidebar. I’m making use of the freezer and leftovers this week. That’s a good thing:)

Debbie… shame about the flowers. hope they make it to the thaw
BUT, this bread sounds wonderful… going to get the ingredients now!
It’s beautiful today, uh? I’ve been out walking in the yard making pictures. I love it.
I will surely make the cornbread..sounds great.
My daffodils have big buds also…It always seems to snow as they are budding or blooming.
That cornbread sounds so good, I have tried some similar but none like that. I hope the flowers make it.
This is too funny! I have been reading your blog for a while and didn’t realize who you were…you left a comment on my blog about your daughter…I know who she is! I met you at The Little Gym when you brought your grand-daughter. Good to make the connection!
Enjoy your festival, and the spring bulbs.
Hope your flowers make it! I have a hopelessly black thumb but I still give it a good Harvard try anyway. Gumbo sounds great…I though about making it for the Superbowl (I’m born and raised in New Orleans) but didnt. Soon. Looking forward to participating on Crock Pot Wednesdays again this week!
It’s so pretty!!
Spring flowers usually survive the cold and snow…. Usually.
I love your blog!
The video fascinated me. I watched it about 3 or 4 times. The part of New Zealand where I live gets no snow and I’ve never seen it except on tv and obviously haven’t taken an awful lot of notice, because I didn’t realise it fell so fast. I always envisioned it floating softly down to earth. So now I’ve learned something 🙂
Can’t wait for the Spring to come.

That video was cool! Happy Outdoor Wednesday
Cool that you videotaped the snowfall. Hope your daffy’s still rise and shine. Joan
